Stunning tap is. Sorry, but it is bs how much stamina that one hit drains. Win or lose I really don’t care. But to have something completely wipe you out in 1 stupid little move is nuts. And if you go to the ground right after, well hello 2 heavies that take a huge chunk of health. So his charge takes half or a little more and tap takes even more. No stamina drain should be that severe. And something else, if he is out of stamina he shouldn’t be able to tackle you and knee you in the face. That is utter bullsh*t.

Yeah, he’s easily the most cheesy character. One charge takes almost all you stamina, and most cases does. When oos his zone becomes a 50/50 to parry or not. I almost always just eat the zone, because if they get either parry or GB you after you auto lost due to a free heavy and no stamina and a restart on exhaustion recovery.

Not so easy since he can do it with unblockable zone and go between them freely. Because in-chain zone does ridiculous damage, you kinda need to parry.
Its all mindgames, depending if he gets into your head or not.
I woudnt mind if stun tap drained less stamina but i dont really mind either way.

Zone feint into tap and GB into charge then free unblockable is all Raider has, honestly. Most Raider players I see do this. His normal lights and heavies are easily read otherwise. Though when you see him starting the unblockable, if you're unsure whether he's going to feint into tap or not, dodging is your best bet. It's essentially a parry bait punish.

When that one move depleted you totally in one shot, it is stupidly OP. And all he has? Hardly. He has a 1 hit parry kill. If he parry’s you, he can then carry you all the way actions a screen and throw you from a ledge. The fact is, that him hitting you 1 time with a stun shouldnt completely drain you. His attacks are powerful and if you go to the ground, go ahead and wave bye bye to half your health. Then you have to stand up and figure out which he is doing next. Feint, tap or unblockable. And you have to decide this while you are standing up as he will have started his unblockable on you that can be cancelled, feinted, continued or turned into tap again. It is a joke.

I think there are actually 2 things that make the Raider to one of the strongest characters in this game.
1. He has got the strongest gankability.
He just appears from out of ur screen runs with u into a wall and meanwhile u r eating 2-3 heavies from his mate what a basicly an instant death.
2. OOS punishment: he punishes u with a heavy and a zone.... only zerk is stronger.
